Yue Hwa Chinese Products (Chinatown)

We had a great time browsing around this Chinese dept store. It's a big change from the usual Uniqlo or malls or cold storage. In here, there are all sorts of products that we may have never seen before. It can go from clothes to medication, to games, to groceries, decor, tea leaves, health supplements, etc. Big variety, and all quite different from the usual. Give yourself an hour or thereabouts to wander around this place. It may be rewarding and even educational. Got really excited when we saw the aeroplane chess game which was played some 40 to 50 years ago. Never seen it until today.... And for enthusiasts who like cooking Chinese food, go look at their wide selection of sauces and condiments. You will be spilt for choice. There were however some surprises at the clothing section. Men's casual shirts had prices of around $100+..., kinda expensive..., I seriously doubt if anyone would buy...🤔 But all in, its an interesting shopping experience if you are tired of the usual malls

Located in Chinatown area. This is a supermarket selling various China made or Chinese related products, such as Chinese medications, Chinese displays. There are 5 levels each selling various products (you can refer to my pictures on the floor plan). I frequented the tea section, bought a lot of pu-er from here. Also I got some Moutai too. The staffs are all friendly and approachable. You can go to them to ask any questions. Joke: I did ask a staff if the store sells Panadol. He refuted me that this was a Chinese store, they didn’t sell western products. I accepted his reasoning. However, as I was walking around, I saw the store selling condoms…. It made me wondering if the condoms were manufactured in China, or created by the Chinese. A store worth going to!

A very fun experience to shop here. There are so many things to see and they have a lot of items. The food section is pretty big, and has a lot of products that you sometimes can't find outside e.g. shipped specifically from China. I like to choose some of the smaller food products where you have to put them into plastic bags, and the staff will weigh it for you e.g. $1.29/100g. I went up to level 5 as well, which is more for furniture and other items such as bracelets with wooden beads. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it was, with some being priced as low as $5. Nearest MRT: Chinatown

Occupying 6 floors selling for those keen in Chinese medicine, clothing, art pieces, cheongsum, etc. Dried goods are pricey, but unsure if similarly priced if bought elsewhere. Chinese and other Asian confectionery, groceries found at level 4. Was here longer as browsing through lots of nostalgic confectionery parents bought before for us when a child. Memory... Bought some back too. At one end, Nanyang Old Coffee cafe with traditional coffee, toast and others. Was packed on a Weekday afternoon. They have some workshops such as couplet calligraphy in lieu of Chinese Nee Year, thus check out their website.
